I only wish that there would be a safer way to find out if a pond or lake in spring fed and where the springs are located.
Fortunately for me I know all the ponds that I fish frequently, and know where the springs are (if there are any) and where there are inlets and outlets.
Remember that ANY moving water will erode ice from below.

The only real problem now is that most ponds have a good coating of snow, that was topped with a couple of inches of rain, which soaked through the snow. When you walk out, you will be pleased to encounter a crust (that MAY support your weight) and about 3-5inches of slush underneath. If we're lucky the deep freeze will help solidify the slush and provide some added support on the ice.

But this being New England, who knows what will happen?

Bottom line: Be smart and be safe!
